City/town/village refers to all named inhabited places at the most locally recognized level, but above the level of neighborhood. It is the most local region where there is a form of government or self-organization.
Cities/towns/villages are larger than neighborhoods, and are typically contained within a larger administrative division such as a county, department, province, etc. It should be noted, however, that large or significant cities may themselves also function as higher-level administrative divisions.
For more information, please see the Freebase wiki page on City/Town/Village.
